by string of cabs, and preceded by a
carriage containing the committee, the
hearse and wagons moved speedily along.
There was no excitement, and only few
persons gathered. The cOrpses were
taken to an undertaker's shop, where
they were dressed and afterwards taken
to the homes of their relatives.
The Funeral Cortese.
The funeral procession of the Anarch-
lists began to move between and
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. II was head
ed by Chief Marshal HOpp. with two aides
and band of musicians in the uniform
Of the German army. Immediately af-
terwards came members of the defence
committee, headed by George A. Schill-
ling, who carried in his hands a floral
tribute.
Following them marched, eight abreast
nearly two hundred members of the
Aurora Turnverein, of which August
Spies was a member. The whole society
was not out, as many members are not
in sympathy with Anarchy. -Four hun
dred of the Vorwartz Turner Society
came next, wearing red badges on the
left breast. This branch Of turner's is
more strongly tinctured with Socialism
than any in the city. One hundred Of
the FOrtschritt branch came next, and
then followed hearse bearing the body
of August Spies. The top of the hearse
was so covered with floral tributes that
nothing else could be SEEN Inside was
richly covered casket, over the black
broadcloth of which was thrown a sash
of red silk. Then another band wheeled
into Lake street playing a dirge, fol-
lowed by many hundred members Of the
Central Labor Union, winch comprises
some of the most extreme Socialists in
the city; next came a hearse in
which lay the coffin of Adolph Fischer.
1t also was decorated with flowers.
but not so profusely as that of Spies.
Next came hearse containing the re-
mains Of Parsons On the box by the
driver sat a man holding in his hands a
floral emblem of such immense size that
the inscriptian of flowers, s'FrOm K. Of
L. Assembly No. 1, ,307," could be Sc N a
hundred feet away. This Is the Assem-
bly, to which Parsons belonged until II
was expelled from the Order on account
of its adherence to the cause of Anarchy.
Across Parsons coffin was thrown q
simple strip of red silk ribbon Then
came another cohort of the Central La
Dor Union, composed Of Representatives
of all sorts of trades. Behind these were
the hearses of Engel and Lingg, over
Charlotte messenger. [volume] (Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.) 1882-18??, 1887-11-19

whose black coffins were the red banners
under which the men had fought. Sew
eral floral pieces were carried behind.
The hearseswere TO llOwed BY carriages
containing relatives of the dead men and
by various labor organizations and great
numbers of men, women and children on
foot
Particular attention was attracted bv
two local assemblies of the Knights Of
Labor, composed of women. who were
afiame with red in the shape of scarlet
ribbons in their hats, bows of crimson at
their throats and long streamers Of Grim
son hanging from their shoulders. In
front of them marched Miss Mary Nc
Cormick, master workman of the organ
ization known as ssLucy Parsons Assem-
bly,, Knights Of Labor She was at
tended by two others and carried huge
wreath surmounted with a snow-white
dove, the emblem of peace. The wreath
and dove were sent by the ladies Of the
defence fund committee Of CINCINNATI.
The procession, which contained
twelve or thirteen bands Of music. was
twenty-three minutes in passing.
1t proceeded to the Wisconsin Cen
tral depot, where the collins of the An
archists were transferred from the hearses
to baggage car and the friends and
relatives Of the dead men took a special
train for Waldheim Cemetery. where
the interment was to take place. The
funeral train consisted of seventeen
coaches. Three other trains were made up
and all were crowded. Upon arrival At
the cemetery, which Is situated on des-
olate stretch Of paraire on the outskirts
OF the city the collins of the dead An
archists were laid upon rude platform
in front of a gloomy stone vault and in
the presence Of several thousand person.
Captain Black delivered funeral oration
in the course Of which he said:

THE TRAP SPRUNG.
Four of chicago's Anarchists Die on
the Gallows,

The Sentence of Two Commuted 10 I'm
prisoement for Life-One Commits SUE
iclde
The excitement which had prevailed
in Chicago for many days was increased
in a measure by the announcement that
Governor Oglesby had decided to inter
fere in the case of two of the seven An
archists Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab. Their sentence of death the
Governor commuted to imprisonment for
life because they had united with Spies
in a plea for mercy. The Governors
reasons for not interfering in the case of
Parsons, Lingg, Engel and Fischer were
that they were guilty and had not asked
for executive clemency as guilty men,
but had demanded freedom as innocent
men. In the case of Spies, editor of the
Anarchist newspaper at the time of the
terrible Haymarket riot, the Governor
did not feel justified in interfering.

relieved by Others Fischer was the first
one to emerge from his cell Accom-
panied by deputies he stepped over to
the plain iron sink and took good
wash. Spies next performed this ablu-
tions and seemed to enjoy them. Old
maA Engel followed the young Anarchist
and the last to wash was Parsons.
At 7.20, two walters from Martell's
restaurant brought to the prisoners their
breakfast. The edibles were carried in
large new clothes basket and the linen
and tableware looked bright and clean.
Active preparations for the execution
began at Z 80 o'clock, when Chief Bailifi
Chaill arrived at the Jail and assigned
the deputy sheriffs to their various posi-
tions during the event. The Rev. DR..
Bolton arrived at I As a, m. and passed
into the cell Passing first into Parsons's
cell, he attempted to engage the doomed
Texan in religious conversation. Par
sons had not yet finished his breakfast
In the meantime Spies had called for
paper and envelopes, and when they were
furnished him he began writing. After
stay of eighteen minutes in Parsons's cell,
DIR. Bolton emerged and, walking to
Spies door stood looking at that individ-
ual, who glanced at the clergyman and
continued writing, Dr. Bolton remained
standing in front of Spies two or three
minutes, but receiving no recognition he
walked away, Writing materials were
furnished to Parsons and Fischer, who
Immediately set about preparing state
ments. Engel made no request for pen
or paper, but sat stolidly on his bed look
ing at the opposite wall of his cell.
AT 1885 fully $50 newspaper men,
local politicians and Others, among them
the twelve jurors who were to view the
bodies after the execution, had passed
through the dark passage under the gal
lows and began seating themselves. The
bailiffs said a few words to the journa-
lists, begging them to make no rush
when the drop fell, but to wait decently
and in order. Parsons was given a cup
of coffee a few minutes before the march
to the scaffold was begun. The rattling
of the chairs, tables and benches of the
reporters continued several minutes, but
by 1.05 there began to fall hush and
conversation among the crowd sank al
most to a whisper. The bare whitewash-
ed walls made a painful contrast with
the dark brown gallows, with its four
noosed ropes dropping ominously near
the floor. A CLEAN of sunshine shooting
through the window at this instant fell
on a corner of the death machine and in
a slight degree relieved its sombre hue.
Through the window were seen num-
Der of policemen armed with rifles, look
ing down from the roof of the Dearborn
street wing at the proceedings. The
chief baililf began, at11.10, calling out
the names of persons summoned as jurors
and bringing them forward to a row of
little stools directly in front of the gal
lows. No other sounds were heard in
the long, high corridor but the solemn,
monotonous voice of the bailiff and rust
ling of jurors as they tiptoed forward
through the crowd.

day, regained their usual spirits. They
cracked jokes from cell TO cell, and as
they had nothing to eat since breakfast
they soon began to yell for soup, soup
The spectators who had witnessed the
hanging walked rapidly out of the en-
closure, and the weary deputies went to
dinner, the only ones left in the jail Office
being the Press representatives
When the cofiins were brought to the
scaffold, Sheriff Matson exclaimed: 'sHis
will be done" The bodies were lower
ed in the following order: Spies, Fischer
Engel and Parsons. All looked natural.
The collins were quickly screwed down
and paper tags were pasted on each
for identification. The bodies were tax
en- away from the Jail abort las. For
Spies hearse had been provided. There
was some trouble in getting away from
the crowd that tailed on to the last
wagon, but rapid driving freed the pro
cession from this annoyance. Following

NichRl Schwab was born in Bavaria in
1853. He received good education, and
in 1869 learned the bookbinder's
trade in Wunsenberg, where he became
a Socialist. He came to America and
also to Milwaukee in 1879. After spend
ing year or two in Milwaukee he re-
turned to Chicago, and became editorial
writer on the Arbeiter Zeitung.
Louis Lingg, the youngest Of the con-
demned Anarchists, was only 90 years
old. He was born in Baden, Germany,
where he was given common school cd
ucation. Leaving his native country, he
lived few years in Switzerland,
and about three years ago came to Amer
ica. and soon afterwards to Chicago,
where he at once became identified with
the Anarchists.

The next speaker was Sam. Fielden,
the ablest and brainiest Of all the Anarch-
ist leaders. The darkening clouds
gave evidence Of an approaching storm,
and a good portion of the auditors Of
the earlier speeches had gone before
Fielden began. A motion was made by
Spies to adjourn TO hall, when Fielden
said he would not speak much longer
At ten minutes before ten o'clock the
solid ranks Of the police were seen ad-
vancing from the Desplaines Street Sta
ton. When the wagon was reached
Captain Ward stepped forward, and,
reading the riot act, commanded the
crowd TO dispcrse. Fielden replied !:

down from the wagon. Just then blue
light arose from the alley, and circling
over the heads Of the crowd descended

FIVE seconds. DR.. Roberts exhibited
and illustrated the operation Of this
compact little instrument before some

edge on the subject, l could readily see
how the rapidity and precision and
neatness of its work would afford relief
to the unfortunate patient. During the

TWO SMART CANNES.
Incidents Which Go to Prove the
Dogs Possession of Htea-
soning Powers.

A collie, owned by "A Vermont farmer,
was accustomed to drive a herd of COWS
every day from the COW stables to a
pasture which was some distance from
the farm building. On the road there
was a piece of woods, beyond that a
field, and further on the pasture. The
farmer was in the habit of going along
with the cows, but the dog always did
all the driving and was very assiduous
in it, so that one morning, when the
dog suddenly deserted the road and
darted into the woods and out OF sight,
his master was greatly surprised, il M
tt'Su.. ...r. along the road with tn
cattle, however, and had passed til
woods and proceeded about half wa
along the field, when lie saw, in tn
fence skirting the field, a gap" whicl
had been left open without his knowl
edge; and there, in this open gap, th
dog was seated, and was guarding III
field from the entrance of the cattle
He had known of the break in til
fence, had foreseen the cow, with tn
pryilg curiosity and fondness for get
ting into fields characteristic of thei
race, would get through it, and ha'
gone around through the woods to hea'
them off.
There is a dog who lives in one Of til
suburbs near Boston who proves a grea
solace to a widow to whom heJ does nc
belong. Dogs are usually given 10 con
filming the benefits of their care to thei
own household, but this one, recogni2
ing the unprotected state of the widow
who lives alone, is willing to extend hi
watchful service to her house. She j
a little afraid of the visits of the tramp
who frequently pass her house on tn
way to Boston. The farmer who own
the dog, therefore. when he sees a sus
picious character coming up the road
says to his dog:
Jack, go over to Mrs. HIS and sit Oh
her piazza till the tramp cts by"
Whereupon the dog, who is a larg
st. Bernard, flies over to Mrs. H's
posts himself at the door, and if tn
tramp comes up the walk, steps forwar,
and growls pleasantly at him. As TIL
dog is a very big one, and rather for
bidding in appearance, though he ha
never been known to bite any one, til
tramp, in ninety-nine cases out of
hundred, remembers that it is gettini
late, and that he hasn't any time t
fool away along the road. When he i
well out of sight the dog promptly re
turns home.
The dog carries his gallantry to TIN
same lady to such an extent that whei
she is visiting his masters house of al
evening he always accompanies he
home, taking her to the very door 6
the house.
